Mess We're In - Acoustic Demo

A bluesy bit about the current state of affairs

Lyrics:

Need a cold drink, but the well's dry
Been a long week, barely gettin by
Ain't enough to eat, yet the wallets light
Now I can't leave, got me locked inside

Can't afford a home, cost to much to rent
Workin to the bone, everything is spent
Ain't done nothin wrong, speak my mind a bit
You don't like my tone, you put me on your list

Don't tell me "No one's above the law"
When monsters sit inside these hallowed halls
The mask comes off and out come the claws
Lust for greed and power at all cost

Lie us in to wars, we don't need to wage
Open all the doors, get your buddies paid
Steal a dollar for, every penny made
Never mind the poor, leave em all in chains

Let the cities rage, and the fires burn
Tippin over trains, it's of no concern
Take a private plane, find a child to hurt
Come election day, buy another term

Don't tell me "No one's above the law"
When monsters sit inside these hallowed halls
The mask comes off and out come the claws
Lust for greed and power at all cost

Old republic dies, culture war begins
Go on pick a side, no one ever wins
When you strip our rights, call us terrorists
Nothin left but fight, and that's the mess we're in
